The book entitled, A Casebook for Business Statistics:
Laboratories for Decision Making, is a unique supplement for
basic business statistics textbooks and provides (1) cases/labs at
the introductory level; (2) integrated material for a
cross-disciplinary curriculum; and (3) data sets containing recent
and real data in a business setting. In addition, this book uses
the perspective of recent reforms in statistics education and
includes both guided and open-ended questions to emphasize:
conceptual understanding; interactive data analysis; and discussion
of interpretation of analysis. The laboratory exercises, which
cover topics ranging from descriptive analysis to forecasting, were
written to build in difficulty and complexity sequentially as the
student progresses through the casebook.
This casebook includes seventeen cases, all based on real data, from the Statistics, Finance and Marketing disciplines. Each case offers Excel and Minitab as tools in analyzing problems in the business-world setting.
Suitable for a one or two-semster course in Introductory Business Statistics.
